Default Missing Caption Number

Did you ever take a look at the field codes?

Another thought: Are you tracking changes perhaps? In that case,
numbering (auto numbering as well as field numbering) may be incorrect
until you accept, or reject, changes.

Hi,

[Word 2003]-
However, in one place, the caption numbers
are not in sequence, and number 10 is followed
by 12 instead of 11. Resetting caption numbers did
not work.-

are the captions placed within text boxes? Maybe, the text boxes are
anchored in a wrong order.

Thank you for your help! I still haven't been able to figure out the
problem, though.

And yes, the captions are within text boxes -- the ones that are
automatically created when you insert captions. However, the caption
with the wrong number is also in a box for inserting a drawing as I was
unable to otherwise position it in the place where it is supposed to
be.

The numbering problem already existed prior to that, however, and I had
checked the anchors at the time. By the way, graphics number 10 is on
the previous page. Strictly speaking the numbers are in the right order,
it's just that one number is missing, as the first graphics on the next
page is numbered 12 (the one in the box for inserting drawings). The
following graphics is then numbered correcty (13).

Do you have any further ideas what might cause the problem?
